Adaptability in moose (Alces alces L) : habitat selection in two landscapes in Newfoundland, Canada
(2014-01-22)Moose (Alces alces [L.]) exist circumglobally and in a vast array of different habitats. I explore differences in habitat selection in relation to differences in availability of forest stands by habitat type and number of ... -
Adaptive habitat selection by a single celled alga?
(2014-01-22)Faculty and students in the Department of Biology are bound together by a common interest in explaining the diversity of life, the fit between form and function, and the distribution and abundance of organisms. The research ... -
Habitat selection in the Common Five-lined Skink near the northern extent of its range
(2016)The study of habitat selection is vital to identify potential threats and to conserve species at risk. The consequences of living in a particular habitat can influence processes beyond the individual with observable effects ... -
Interspecific interactions modulate social foraging behaviour and habitat use in a neotropical migratory warbler species during its nonbreeding period
(2022)Spatial and temporal variation in biotic and abiotic conditions in any foraging environment prompts individuals to modify their strategies of space use and behavioral responses such as going from solitary to social ... -
Investigation of winter habitat selection by woodland caribou in relation to forage abundance and snow accumulation
(2014-01-22)Imprecision and misclassification of land cover types are two issues commonly encountered in habitat selection studies using satellite land cover classifications and telemetry data. Here, the utility of broad land cover ... -
Is patch use determined by fine-scale microhabitat differences or density dependent habitat selection?
(2006)If individuals base their patch and habitat choices on fine-scale differences in microhabitat, then their use o f patches, defined by capture sites, should correspond with measures o f microhabitat. But if individuals ... -
Life on the edge : the role of habitat selection on vole density near forest boundaries
(1997)Theories of density-dependent habitat selection predict pronounced gradients of population density near habitat edges. Population density in high-quality habitats should decline toward edges with lower-quality habitats, ...
